It's too quiet

Yes, the boy has departed for sunnier climes. See post below. It's far too quiet in the house.

Jordan was ecstatic to be going. I think it's weird that he's going but think it's a good thing. It will challenge him to be more independent. I'm not even convinced that he thinks about us that much when he's away; his autism means he lives very much in the moment and deals with the here and now.

The person who is really suffering is his father who hates it when his son is away.

The lads

So anyway, I was at a coffee morning at Jordan's school yesterday to have a look at their shopping and independence photos.
Sure enough Jordan spent the entire time trying to trick me into saying the word 'arse'. Sigh.

Here is a pic of him and his best mate Luke.
